Wheelwright and the neighboring coal camps of the Cumberland Plateau are the focus of this recent survey, capturing the intricate settlement patterns along the narrow hollows of eastern Kentucky. The landscape is defined by the Left Fork Beaver Cr and its numerous tributaries, where communities like Weeksbury, Melvin, and Ligon follow the winding valley floors. These settlements reflect a long history of industrial reliance, with names like Johnson Coal Hollow and Mill Hollow hinting at the economic engines of the region.
